About Me
Introduction:
My name is Johanna Marie Abenoja but I'm usually called "Hanna" by my students. I am a native speaker in English, and I was born and am currently located in Southern California, USA. I graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Mathematics for Teachers at the Philippine Normal University in the Philippines and have experienced teaching in a class setting for at least 2 years in the said country. I gained my mastery in English grammar through the strict training I got from high school which I have retained until now.
It has been about 7 years since my career as an Online English Trainer started, and I have developed a love in being one ever since. I am adept in web class instruction, dealing with students from a young age to adulthood, and from beginner to advanced level learners. Moreover, I am a teacher with much passion for students to learn and become a great contribution to the society who seek to improve their English-speaking skills which will make them internationally competent.
